Course introduction: A nine-story tower begins with a heap of earth. No engineering project can proceed without a solid foundation.  Starting with the basics - understanding soil properties and classification - this course progressively delves into theoretical calculations, shallow foundations, deep foundations, retaining walls, and other specialized topics. Through this course, students will master knowledge on foundation settlement, bearing capacity, soil pressure calculations, and common artificial foundations.  Additionally, it enhances problem-solving skills using standards, references, and manuals, while meeting the operational requirements for geotechnical experiments as an "Assistant Testing Engineer".
